Inline translation in Magento

If you need translations for your site but translation packs are not fully translated, then inline translation is very nice feature.
In this post I will cover entire process for inline translation in Magento.

So I assume that you already instaled your language packs, and that you created diferent store views for diferent languages.
Next step is to go to Magento admin/system/configuration/developer.

There you must do two things:

from current configuration scope select desired store view on witch the inline translation will be aplied

apply inline translation for that desired store view

Next step is to go to the frontend and select desired language from the dropdown. Red rectagle strokes around text will apear and when you hover it the little book icon will apear. Just click on the icon and insert desired text.

Here is how to:

All translations that are been made by inline translation are stored in database in shop_core_translate table. If you move magento from server to server you need to export this table and import it when you configure your mysql database on another server.

I have made all changes to your according your guide but,
Translate inline bug, red dots are there but no book icon to change,

did anyone fix the problem “Rik” has a year ago?
I have it now ;/ Magento 1.7.0.2 a German version. I activated “inline translation”. (Caches were disabled) and since then no chance to got the interface. No User-Interface no Admin-Interface – just the weird footer (as admin) ({{Site Map}}{{Site Map}}{{Site Map}}{{Mage_Catalog}).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Goodday beautiful people. Please can someone help in how to translate “success messages” in magento? Inline or cvs translation is not working. The Inline and cvs translation is working on other labels but not on success and validation messages. Example: XXXXXX has been added to your wishlist. Click here to continue shopping

My customer has made inline translations on the dev site, but now I can’t get those translations working on the live site. I’ve copied all the rows inside core_translate table, refreshed the cache, but still nothing. Argh I hate how Magento makes simple tasks take up days of hard work and frustration,,

Isn’t it better to edit the translate text as normally, even if Modules are not 100% translated the developer use __(‘bla bla’) and all we need is to add the default text as a new line in the localized file and enter the localized text?

I do this as I fell safer that reading from DB.

I had problems that I localized using this feature and some strings were not localized 🙁
